Sunday afternoon at The Star of Kings got off to a great start thanks to the hilarious Claire Hutchison, who told us just how you can tell if you’re posh: you have names like “The Den” for spare rooms in your house. Next was the fabulous Georgia Thorp who gave us some tips on what to look out for as we get older. It was then over to Richard Taylor who confessed to not being a big fan of the guy who owns all the swans. Nate Patel then explained how to find your cultural identity in the most unexpected places. It was then over to George Lestner who tried his hands at sit down standup crowd work before Paul Little let us in on his little secret: he’s the guy to go to if you ever want a racoon seduced. Closing the first half was Declan Evans who told us about the time he was seriously heckled on stage. He’s never brought his nan to a gig since.
After the beak we got off to a cracking start thanks to Eoghan Collins and the Waitrose colour catcher. It was then over to Connor Bell who has recently discovered he might be the fat friend in a fit friendship group. After Connor was Mariah Bowden and the style tip of the afternoon: “The more you scissor, the more you snip.” Jack Gregson then gave us everything from idiocy to bigotry and everything Trump in-between. It was then over to the ghost hunting spooky fabulousness of Bernard Guff (aka Josh Harvey – pictured) before Steven Mayne educated us on the pronoun no man should ever use when their partner is pregnant: we. Closing the show was the rocking awesomeness of Barbara Fernandez. Barbara gave us everything from Mother Teresa to self-help surgery and the mystery of the three lost husbands.
Now if you didn’t manage to get to see Barbara’s show up in Edinburgh, don’t fret. Due to polular demand, we’re hosting Barbara’s Singing, Sagging & Shagging again at The Star of Kings on December 1st. So get that in your diaries.
